Abstract:
A method automatically evaluates x-ray image data from an examination region of a patient. X-ray image data is received from the examination region. Furthermore x-ray image data is segmented and anatomical structures are detected in the individual segments. In addition reference image data that comes closest to the segmented x-ray image data is determined. This process is undertaken on the basis of a comparison of the segmented x-ray image data with reference image data from a reference database. The reference image data of the reference database has quality information relating to the image quality of the reference image data in each case. Finally a decision is made on the basis of the quality information of the established reference image data as to whether the received x-ray image data is to be retained or rejected.
